CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., November 24 —Capt. Bill Luke of the University of Virginia is back in foot ball togs and preparing to lead his team against North Carolina here Thanksgiving day in his final game under Cavalier colors. This afternoon the varsity squad is holding its first Saturday practice in two months while the Virginia freshmen are doing battle against the first-year Tar Heels down at Chapel Hill. This afternoon will likewise bring the fourth week to a close for the Cavaliers without a scrimmage. Six injured members of the squad have reported for practice within the last few days but coaches are taking no chances for further injuries in scrimmage sessions. CHAPEL HILL, N. C. ovember 24 (#)—With the first all ity scrim- mage of the month yesterday, the Tar Heels continued to round out for the ‘Thanksgiving battle with Virginia at Charlottesville, Va. Members of the varsity squad have been intermittently on the hospital list for several weeks, making thorough B scrimmage difficult. Coach Chuck Collins expressed him- self as pleased when the big Blue team faced a nondescript crew of third and fourth team men. Pete Wyrick drove his varsity backfield about the lot in casy manner.

BY BOB ZUPPKE, Foot Ball Coach, University of Tilinois. A team of 11 good tacklers is hard to beat. The foot ball player must have greater mental efficiency than a debater. Moral and physical courage are closely astociated. If your nerves fail you, so does your body. The difference between champions and near-champions is the ability to % | play for something outside of self. Foot ball is a game in which inches often count more than yards. A good loser is a piece of camouflage. The man who hasn’t an alibi is hope- less. But don't squawk outwardly. Congratulate your victor, as civilization decrees. If you run harder than the other team, you will probably win. A liar is a quitter. An honest-minded man is not qs«:t sensitive and is easier to get along with on the field. The difference between a star and & dub is just a few inches—the ability to stretch at critical periods of a game. He makes good who is game enough to come back. The best forward pass is the one thrown by the best thrower to the high- est jumper who has the rhythm to time his jump and the ability to hang on to the ball. Many a weak-chinned man has a fighting heart. Neutrality is being afraid of one side and ashamed of the other. In the end, that which counts the most in foot ball is courage. Foot ball is a mental exercise ex- pressed physically. Yale’s Fine Attack To Worry Harvard BY SOL METZGER. Yale is a_prime favorite for its game with Harvard at New Haven today and should come through with” a_sizeable victory. There is a punch to the Eli attack and a fine use of forward passes and quick kicks on tap to turn the tide a deep Yale blue by sundown. Garvey is a back who has taken to the shoes vacated by Bruce Cald- well and is fully on a par with many notabies who have preceded him in the bowl. I look for Yale to do a great deal of damage to the Crimnson line. Yale likes a running attack. An odd formation may be un- earthed by Coach Stevens for the battle, one that he found a success- ful ground gainer when playing for Eli. The line unbalances to one side, sthe backfield to the other. It permits of hard line hammering. A favorite play from this odd set of the team is a buck to the short side, No. 1 taking the pass direct and driving inside the defensive tackle. The wing backs take care of the defensive tackle and half back and the No. 5 end cuts through to get a back. Looks like a simple play, but the straight ahead drive of No. 1 and No. 2 confuses the defensive full- back. He may fall for the feint of No. 2. If he does the play is a big | ground gainer. Tomorrow—the play Roper borrowed from Dobie. | faot ball secrets, illustrated and printed in pamphelet form, send 10 cents in M Tllinois College, 19; Eureka, 0. College of Crete, 1 ‘otner, 7.

W. C. A. Build- ing. It was reported by the committee at that time that they had not com- pleted their slate, and so the motion for postponement was made and carried. An interesting talk on the history and development of basket ball in ‘Washington, given by Imogene Stgekett of Eastern High School, was the fea- ture of the program Thursday evening. Several other members of the branch added reminiscences of the game as played years ago, with seven to nine players on, a team. The next meeting, at which the nom- inating committee will make a full report, will be called by Elsle Sanders, chairman, probably early in December.

The contest was wit- nessed by 2,500 spectators, INTER rules are now in use at several of the local golf courses. With high winds sweeping over the courses for most of the past week, drying up what little grass is left on the. fairways, the greens committees of the clubs about the Capital have put 1 Winter rules into effect in order tosave the fairways from unusual wear which would occur if the ball was played practically off the dirt, involving the taking of a big divot.

NEW YORK, November 24 —The ra- tio between the perpendicular and hori- zontal foreign heavyweights in this country remains the same as the result of the American debut of the two latest importations. Max Schmelling of Germany caused something of a sensation in Madison Square Garden last night by not only remaining on his feet through eight furiousrounds of battling against Joe Monte of Boston, but by coming out with a knockout victory. Johnnie Widd of Sweden, however, preserved the balance by assuming the horizontal position after only two and a half minutes of wild punching with Arthur de Kuh of Italy. Schmelling made a hit with the Gar- den fans by showing unusual speed for a 185-pounder coupled with a lot of boxing ability and a good punch. Monte seldom could land a solid blow, while the German hit hard and often enough to send_him down for a count of nine in the fifth before knocking him out in the eighth. Before the end of the battle ringsiders were suggesting a bout be- tween Schmelling and Con O'Kelly, fast and flashy Irishman, who preceded him to this country by a few weeks and has won his two starts in an impressive fashion. ‘Widd came out of his corner against the huge Italian flailing both fists like a frightened small boy tackling a much larger opponent and he was still swing- ing when the referee helped him Back :;thont a count after the second knock= wn, EASY VICTORY IS GAINED | BY HOFFMAN CLOTHIERS ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 24.— | Hoftman Clothiers ran wild last night and got 44 field goals in scoring a 90 to 8 victory over the Headquarters Co. basket ball team in the post gym- nasium at Fort Myer, Va.

Morgan for yesterday at the Indian Spring Golf Club, was postponed because of the bad weather conditions. A high wind which swept the course kept most of the golf- ers fix the shelter of the clubhouse, and those who did start were late in finish- ing. Only a few concluded the round, and the event was declared “no tour- ney.” Bannockburn and Beaver Dam are to hold golf tournaments on Thanks- giving day. Bannockburn is to hold an 18-hole ball sweepstakes event, while Beaver Dam'’s golf committee has ar- ranged an extensive schedule. The top event of the day will be the competition for the President’s cup, an 18-hole han- dicap medal play event.

NCE again the District prep school foot ball title will de- pend upon the outcome of the annual post-season Devitt- Gonzaga clash, which this year will take place December 8 in Griffith Stadium. Gonzaga yesterday brushed aside a formidable contender for the championship when it downed Emerson, 13 to 0. Gonzaga, after being outplayed in the first period and held to even terms in the second, scored one fouchdown in the third session and added anether in the fourth. Charley McVean accounted fcr Gon- zaga’s first touchdown, when he plunged over from the 4-yard line, after a 36-yard run by Dunnington had put the ball in scoring position. Dunnington scooped up the ball after Edmonston, Gonzaga left end, had blocked Colley's attempted punt. McVean's dropkick for the extra point failed. Bussink, Gonzaga right halfback, scored his team’s other touchdown in the fourth period when he intercepted a forward pass and with good inter- ference ran 75 yards. McVean's pass to Pyne netted the extra point. Bussink got_the ball when a pass from Colley to Buscher was deflected from the lat- ter to Bussink.

Paul totaled 383 and Max had 380. . White Has Odd Putting Stroke BY SOL METZGER. Jack White, former British open champion and ranked with Willie Park as one of the two greatest putters of all time in British golf, gets his results on short putts in an odd way. Jack gets well over the ball in’ the position I have sketched Aim, with the ball off his left heel and his weight shifted well forward on that foot. His head is down over the ball and both his elbows are held close to his sides. Odd part about his stance is its width. His ball is not only pla{fli off his left heel, but it is on a line running from the toes of his right foot to the hole. Jack takes his time over these short putts and advises no one to hurry them. But the oddest thing about them is his manner of strok- ing the ball. His backswing Is quite short and abbreviated, his for- ward one no follow through. That seems contrary to all the golf we have ever been taught, as “fol- low through” is the slogan of every professional we ever met. He actually stops the club right after contact and most decisively. There is one point about this tap- ping method which all golfers who read should remember. White does not advise it if you use an aluminum or wooden putter. Such substances do not readily lend themsclves to the tap method. When your approach shots hit the green do they trickle off into the sand? Want to make them fall dead?

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, November 24.—Minne- cota’s “thundering horde” carried the championship hopes and fears of four teams as the Big Ten foot ball campaign ended on four widely separated fronts today. Three of the teams. Illinois, Ohio State and Iowa, built their champion- ship hopes cn the ability of Minnesota to stop Wisconsin, at Madison, and their_own abilities to win today. while the Badgers hoped to halt Minnesota and thereby annex their first Big Ten foot ball crown since 1912. With Ohio State invading Illinois, Minnesota clashing with Wisconsin and Iowa fighting against Michigan, at Ann Arbor, a day’s crowd of 225,000 or more, the biggest in the Big Ten's his- tory, was expected to see the curtain fall. Two other contests, Darimouth at Northwestern, and Indiana at Pur- due, neclped to swell the attendance mark. Every contest, except Towa and Michigan. Hawkeyes were big f that between in which the vorites, was re- linois game marked the last game as Buckeye coach for Jack Wilce, whose resignation is ef- fective this Winter. Each team has been defeated, but with a chance for the title both elevens expected to give verything they had to win. Fifty tht::xlslnd were on hand to watch the e. A battle of passes was promised at Evanston, where Dartmouth sent its re- juvenated team to meet Northwestern in the only intersectional combat of the Western Conference card. Both teams have exhibited flashes of power despite poor seasons. The “Old Oaken Bucket” was the toc- sin of battle between Indiana and Pur- due, and Lafayette was foot ball mad. The two have been rivals almost since foot ball began. Will Settle Battle of “Ifs.” MADISON, Wis,, November 24.—The Big Ten's battle “ifs” for the con- | ference championship centered arodnd today’s game between the rugged Mi nesota eleven and Wisconsin’s unde- ieated Badgers. Wisconsin, in a des- perate effort to gain its first Big Ten title since 1912, was keyed to the limit to beat the “thundering horde” of Minnesotans. Minnesota, with no championship hopes of its own, was the lone star of encouragement to Iowa, Iilinois and Ohio, because only in case of a Minne- sota victory could any of them hope to win or share the championship P oats pesters, remembering the season filled with upsets, looked for Wiscon- sin’s defeat, but Wisconsin partisans would concede nothing, although ad- mitting that any Minnesota-Wisconsin game was bound to be a “natural.” Wisconsin's running offensive and passes were stacked against Minnesota’s line-charging tactics in pre-game fore- casts, but both teams were ready for surprise attacks.

EVANSTON, Ill, November 24.—Two expenents of the forward pass, Dart- mouth of the East and Northwestern of the Middle West, were set for a game of ultra-modern foot ball today before 50,000 spectators, the largest crowd ever to pack Dyche Stadium. All the tricks of modern gridiron strategy were expected to be unloosed by the fleet teams. Although both elevens have been thrice defeated this season, the game attracted widespread interest as one of the few intersectional clashes of the day. Dartmouth, whose attack has shown increased power and speed the past month, was conceded a better chance to win than Northwestern. Fifteen thousand Dartmouth alumni and stu- dents were here for the game. Both teams were in good physical condition. A fast dry field and cold weather were promised for game time set for 2 pm. Probable starting line-ups: Positions. Dartmouth. ....Bogma Right tackle Referee—Col. H. pire—John Gardner (Cornell). ‘udge—Fred Gardner (Cornell). A. Haines (Yale). Buckeyes Visit Illinois.

The _championship edge all depended on 4 Minnesota triumph over Wiscon- sin’s undefeated team, but from the in- terest exhibited in the Illini-Buckeye combat, it appeared as if the fans took B.

Ohio State had a slight advantage in the line, but the Illini appeared to have found their long lost scoring punch, and were expected to excel in | the running attack. The game marked the last for Coach Jake Wilce as director of Ohio State's foot ball destinies. Indiana Visits Purdue.
